Review: Greens

This is another sample that was gifted to me.

The Taj Mahal’s Eternal Love
edp – Les Grandes Amours du Taj-Mahal by Romea d’Ameor; Perfumer Pierre Bourdon.

Notes: grapefruit, bergamot, melon, black currant, green notes, lily of the valley, sea water, lotus, rose, jasmine, iris, vetiver, raspberry, peach, vanilla, musk;

This is part of a collection of seven perfumes, inspired by famous women who left their mark on history: The Princess of Venice, The Grand Inca Priestesses, The Mistresses of Louis XIV, The Sovereigns of Egypt, The Great Empresses of Japan, The Secret Heroines of the Tsar, The Taj Mahal’s Eternal Love.

I don’t need to repeat the story of the Taj Mahal. It is known the world over, but did you know that the Shah created a perfume to remind him of his wife?

This fragrance evokes the feeling of the gardens and the water.

To me, it is mostly green, and even a bit salty and sharp. I really don’t catch nuances of anything else, though I imagine they play off the central theme. It is definitely not sweet or particularly floral. After several hours, it is softly green.

It might be the grapefruit that makes it sharp, but it doesn’t smell citrusy.

If you like greens, you would likely like this. 100 ml Eau de Parfum; $135 each.

Have you tried this one?
What did you think?

Lucky Scent carries the fragrance and samples.
